taking a bath for the pleasure of it, reading a magazine with a cup of tea in the afternoon sun, putting your feet up for 15 minutes when you come home from work before you start dinner.
After my first breast cancer diagnosis, I couldn’t wait for my life to get back to “normal” along with the rest of my family. Cancer scared me and them. We just wanted to pretend the whole surgery and cancer cells were a dream. It worked for about two and a half years. Then IT came back two inches below the previous spot. Another surgery and more cancer cells. This time things were different. I was different. I started creating my version of “normal” and that meant I treated me differently. I tapped into the healing powers of creativity leaning heavily on my journal writing. Also exploring many other new hands-on activities and discovering the wonderful prescription
available at the ends of my fingertips. I learned to set boundaries, to say “no” and be my own best advocate for my well-being.
I encourage you to make yourself a priority today and every day going forward…to live a life unleashed!
